Banded 54 days ago and??

[Marcib 1]

I'm doing ok loosing weight but my stomach is super bloated. I don't know if it's still from the surgery or what but it's really bothering me. I was thinking perhaps because other parts of my body is getting smaller its magnifying my stomach but I actually feel bloated any suggestions are appreciated.

My understanding from the literature that I received from my clinic is that the bloating can last for several months so it could just be bloating left over from the surgery.

Hope that helps.

Hi! Congrat on your new journey. I have been banded almost a year now. The bloating can last a few months. They put alot of gas in you for the surgery. Also you stomach is healing so it will be swollen for a bit. When you go in for your next fill I would ask the doctor what he thinks. Hope all goes well for you.

Thanks so much. I just can't wait for it to go down. Nothing worst than being able to go 1or 2 sizes down n still looking 10 mos pregnant.

Did you perhaps start drinking whey Protein Shakes? You could be lactose-intolerant which might cause bloating. Maybe switch to soy and reduce any dairy you've been having.
